      Is everyone making shit up? Or are there places with expensive homes? Do you even know where the OP in the image lives to claim that they’re making shit up?

      I don’t think anyone is saying the minimum house price is now $700k. But, living in Massaschusetts, even cities besides the uber-expensive Boston have more houses closer to $700,000 at list price than $400,000.

          I could list the multiple cities I surveyed where capping the maximum price at $700,000 filtered more houses than capping the minimum at $420,000.

          Unless you have research data that documents the median house prices for urban and near-urban locations, your $400,000 is just as much an anecdotal, “cherry picked edge case” as any other value.

          You came in, gave no supported facts, but complained that someone’s anecdote is false and biased while fully refusing to engage in contextualizing the tweet.
